The word “Google” has become so ubiquitous today that “Googling” has become synonymous with “searching”.
Wikipedia, quite rightly, refers to Google as a verb.
“The verb to google (also spelled to Google) refers to using the Google search engine to obtain information on the Web.”
I feel people are so addicted to the “Google syndrome” that they just survive on Google. In fact, many people would have lost jobs had it not been Read the rest of this entry »

I still remember reading a review about Firefox in Business World by Mala Bhargava some years back. At that time, browser was just a tool to surf the internet and so ubiquitous was Internet Explorer (IE) that the word web-browser was synonymous to IE. Mozilla was somewhat of a known entity at that point but Firefox was definitely not. Mala gave a list of features but the one that caught my attention was “tabs”. Opening a window in a new tab was unheard of and the idea of having all related links in the same window was really impressive. Also, clutter-free taskbar was a welcome change.
Next day, I had Firefox running on my desktop. Slick and lightweight, the experience was good to start with. Having an alternative to IE in itself was a kind of relief. Though Opera was an option, it never came out of the shell. As always, the curiosity to know a product better led me to explore the themes and extensions that were available for Firefox. I was never happy with the themes that Mozilla provided. Even now I run the default theme. The element that impressed me the most was “Add-ons”.
Initially, it was a bit difficult to understand how useful an add-on would be from a web browser perspective. My notion about add-ons in a browser was limited to better speed and reliable downloads. But once I understood the power of Add-ons, there was no looking back. I realized how add-ons can help me stay in touch with the current events, play my favorite music, block the ever irritating advertisements, etc. etc. etc. Though all these came at a price, not in monetary terms but in way of memory, add-ons were worth it. Certainly, a small bargain for the wonderful surfing experience it provided.
Firefox is no longer a web-browser for me; it is more of a utility. It is a gadget that helps me interact with the world, stay abreast with the latest happenings, filter out the unwanted stuff and undeniably increase my productivity.
Long live Firefox!!!
